Verse 1: Windows down on a dead-end street Warm night air and your cold bare feet You’re laughing loud but it sounds off-key Like you’re somewhere else, not here with me Verse 2: You say you're fine but you don't look fine I can see the emptiness in your eyes I know the script, can read between those lines We’re dancing ‘round the real goodbye Pre-Chorus: You say, “Don’t think, just let it be” But thinking’s all that’s left for me Chrous: There’s static in the summer now Every time you come around It used to be electric touch but now it’s barely making sound We’re dancing to a fading song to try and prove we still belong just lying to ourselves somehow There’s static in the summer now Verse 3: We take the long way on the drive Just tryna keep this thing alive But neither one of us can hide How hard we’re struggling to survive Verse 4: Your voice is soft but breaking down Like you’re afraid of what we’ve found We circle truths we won’t announce While tension hums without a sound Pre-Chorus: You say, “Don’t turn this into that” But that’s exactly where we’re at Chorus: There’s static in the summer now Every time you come around It used to be electric touch but now it’s barely making sound We’re dancing to a fading song to try and prove we still belong just lying to ourselves somehow There’s static in the summer now Bridge: This doesn’t feel like love tonight Just two wrongs trying to feel right We’re losing us without a fight Fading out of frame and sight There’s so much we don’t ever say It builds between us day by day Until the thoughts just drift away Leaving both of us astray Chorus: There’s static in the summer now Every time you come around It used to be electric touch but now it’s barely making sound We’re dancing to a fading song to try and prove we still belong just lying to ourselves somehow There’s static in the summer now There’s static in the summer now Every time you come around It used to be electric touch but now it’s barely making sound We’re dancing to a fading song to try and prove we still belong just lying to ourselves somehow There’s static in the summer now
